Abstract:
In disorders which involve the bone marrow, the fat/water ratio of the marrow is often an indicator of the progress of disease. A noninvasive method of monitoring this ratio in bone marrow could be clinically useful. We have investigated a method of bone marrow assessment, using magnetic resonance imaging at low field (0.064 Tesla). The method has been tested using calibrated phantoms; we also present results from normal human subjects.
